Anyone applying when applications re-open in January 2011?

Hello January applicants! I have made a group on facebook for CRP not just for those who are going, but also for those who hope to be coming out!! So please join, use it to badger us about the process etc.

Unfortunatly it has some new layout for groups, which is bizarre oh well! Best of luck when you guys do apply Hope to see you all out there.

 

Hey kanga-rooney, ill join up although it will certainly make my nerves a lot worse hearing about you all going over. I saw disney.freak's videos, they were funny and some of you posts have been really funny too, im so happy for you all getting to go.

Dont judge me on the lack of friends on my fb, i dont use it other than to talk to a family member who is abroad, im more of a texting guy, mind you it would be useful to be able to talk to all you lot spread through the uk (and soon to be florida too). But yeah dont judge me on the numbers, im like the most talkative sociable guy ever ha ha ha ;D

 

Hey,

Just wondering, I've uploaded my CV to Yummyjobs.com ready for when applications reopen in January, but where would i upload my covering letter to? Just attach it to the CV document or will they ask for that seperatly when applications reopen?

 

Personally I had my cover letter & cv in one document which I then saved as a pdf. I then uploaded that pdf in the place they ask for your cv (although you could leave it as a word document) I just did it so when Yummy opened it, it was presented nicely. Also make sure if you save it & upload it as a word document its compatible as I know someone's didn't open. Yummy did email them so they could resumbit it though! So don't panic.

 

i put my cover letter with my cv but i know some people copied it into the space instead - i got a phone itnerview so im assuming its fine doing it that way - people who did it other way also got interviews so i dont think it matters the site isnt very clear really

 

How long after applying did you get your phone interview?

 

i applied on the 21st June this year and i had my phone interview in the middle of august, they basically open the applications and let people apply and then start to get intouch and offer phone interviews to people..... in january last year tho the time frame was a lot shorter and so people found out faster than this summer so could go either way really in january 2011......

 

Just in another thread that Disney really liked all the applicants from the last interviews and hardly anyone got declined but hope there will be space for us Jan applicants, soooo hope I get Merch, think F and B would make me sad lol

 

obviously if you don't want to do one of the job roles at all they urge you not to specify a preference, however in general there tend to be more roles in F+B than there are in Merch...

 

yeah id maybe mention a pref for merch but say im open to whatever and hope for the best, thats all you can do really

 

I will be applying doubtful I will get it due to lack of experience but hey ho.

When I was speaking to a lady from yummyjobs she said that the January positions presentation was anticipated to be held in march (she told me this because I'm 17 and she gave me time space for me to turn 18 lucky for me I turn 18 before march xD (It is subject to change however depending on complicated things that confused me somewhat))

 

yeah march sounds about right judging by how long it took the last time and for the last jan applicants

 

yeah, i spoke to nick from yummy jobs and the january apps will be open from the 5th to the end of january and the face to face interviews are to be held either late february or early march.

 

Hi Lemondrop, I take it you are applying in Jan as well? Apologies if you have mentioned this somewhere else, still quite new to forums so haven't read that many of the posts

 

hiya

yeah, i have already done the CRP way back in 2007/2008, i applied again in June this year and got a phone interview but didnt get any further so going to try again in January!!! A year over there just isnt enough!!!!!

 

Am so excited to be applying in Jan haha! Its good to know an approximate time scale for it all. Are the face 2 face interviews held in London?

 

Yes the interviews take place in London in either Disney HQ in Hammersmith or chez grande, I believe.
If you check my blog (link below) I've written up, the timescale for my application.

 

cool Lemondrop youll know all about the procedure, im scared they dont really look at your letter/cv and just go with who they want, though i know thats not the case cos so many nice people have got in, but oh the worrying and stress.

Kanga-rooney - didnt know you had a blog ill check it out

 

Kanga-rooney (wait why am i calling you that?) Ok Amy that's better. Im loving the blog, its very well presented and full of useful information!!!!!
